About Me
- cwhittaker
- We all walk along an infinite road on which only we can go. The nature of the road is ours to decide: rocky, smooth. Hot or cold. We are the architects of our minds and how we choose to build it is our business. But let's all hope when an earthquake hits, it'll all still hold up.

Idle Mind
An idle mind often falls victim to a plague of pointless questions and illogical theories.

Rejoice
Rejoice and be glad for today, the sun has risen again! Again the clouds have put on an artistic performance as they dance through the multicolored sky; streaking, grouping, and painting the endless blue wonder with its fantastic shades of gray and white.
As independence day quickly approaches in the US, liberty, freedom, and the sacrifice that is made to ensure them is in every good American's mind. Here's something i thought fitting:
"Freedom that is not fought for, not sacrificed for, is not freedom but rather enslavement to an idea."
Huge thanks to all the servicemen and women out there who fight for our freedom and sacrifice their safety to protect it. Happy 4th of July everyone.

Nature
Everything that there is to be seen in nature can, in one way or another, be seen in people. All things in nature mirror each other in sometimes the most obvious ways.
A flowing river represents the constant change of time and the rapids in such a river can show troubles and danger. Whether or not you are in a raft at such a time or beside one is your choice but regardless the river runs into through and out of them.
A fire's brilliant glow and multitude of colors are the essence of personality as no two licks of flame are the same but they both still have identical burning feeling to the touch of an unwary onlooker. The way the fire of our soul burns is a direct reflection of our inner stability, emotion, and being.
A blade of grass is affected by changing winds, nourishing soul, and a sunny outlook. Need I say more? Like grass, we need 4 things to survive: cleansing water, a nourishing environment, ever changing winds (though not to strong), and a bright outlook on the world. If our view is dark and foreboding, then what reason do we have to partake in it? What motivation exists? We would be wasting the gift of our breath.
As you go on through your day, reflect on the things around you. Realize that just as you have had troubles, trees have had droughts and continue to flourish. The waves crash but always reform. Feel free to comment about the connections you guys have made :) no matter how abstract or symbolic :)

Let Life
Let life grow,
Let life flower,
Let life be.
Let your soul live
Let your soul be happy
Let your soul breathe
Let your heart grin
Let your heart laugh
Let your heart beat with joy
We preoccupy ourselves with the needs and whims of others. Let yourself step back and enjoy the effort you have so willingly given to others. As people we are faced with so many troubles, so many pains. When they surface and bear their teeth reflect not on the scars of the past but rather the beautiful works that have been performed.
Today is a day for rejoicing,
a day for joy,
a day for happiness.
do not let it waste. Seize the moment, seize the day and live the life you want to live.
Let life flower,
Let life be.
Let your soul live
Let your soul be happy
Let your soul breathe
Let your heart grin
Let your heart laugh

Life's Unwanted Burden
The burden that we all bear as people must be let go, no matter how strong our attraction to it. We deserve to be free from the ropes of our stress and troubles so that we can truly live our own life in actual happiness.
